Preview a movie in the Monitor panel
You can preview all or part of a movie at any time in the Monitor panel. To preview a movie, Adobe Premiere Elements must first prepare the clips
on all the tracks for viewing, applying effects, motion, opacity, and volume settings. Video quality and frame rate are dynamically adjusted to let
you preview the movie in real time. Movies that use only cuts between clips generally preview at normal quality and frame rate. Complex movies
(with effects and layered video and audio) may require rendering before you can preview them.
Monitor panel
A. Current time B. Playback controls
Do any of the following in the Monitor panel:
To preview the movie, click the Play button, or press the spacebar.
note: To set the current-time indicator to the beginning of the movie, press the Home key.
To change the quality of the playback, right-click/ctrl-click inside the monitor panel. Select Playback Quality > Highest. The CPU usage
and RAM consumption of your computer increases when you change the setting to Highest.
To pause the preview, click the Pause button, or press the spacebar.
To control the speed of the preview, drag the shuttle slider to the right. The clip plays faster the further you drag the shuttle slider.
To play in reverse, drag the shuttle slider to the left. The clip rewinds faster the further you drag the shuttle slider.
To go forward one frame, click the Frame Forward button. To go forward five frames, Shift-click the Frame Forward button.
To go backward one frame, click the Frame Back button. To go backward five frames, Shift-click the Frame Back button.
To jump to a different frame, click the current-time display, and type the new time. (Colons or semicolons aren’t required. However,
Adobe Premiere Elements interprets numbers under 100 as frames.)
To go to the end of the previous clip (the cut or edit point), click the Go To Previous Edit Point button.
To go to the beginning of the next clip, click the Go To Next Edit Point button.
